Does Moko Resources handle strings from separate Android build variants? I haven't been able to make that work. I notice in your answer last year you suggest having variant specific string files, presumably in co-operation with a commonMain one, but I can't get it to work. What's required?

hi. moko-resources generates android resources in androidMain sourceset. it not handle build variants, so you got same resources in all build variants

Yes, I understand that, but what about additional flavour specific resources? Does your answer referred to above suggest that's a possibility, or doesn't it that work like that?

[alex009]

can you give more details? i dont understand what additional flavour specific resources you mean

[MarkRS]

I have different websites for different stages (development, testing, release) and different flavours for those stages, so, although almost all strings aren't flavour specific, these are and I hope to have them in flavour specific strings.xml, hoping that the build will merge them.

multiplatform module not have flavors analog. you can pass different strings by DI from platform app side.
on android will use flavors, on ios will use schemas & configurations.
in our template we pass baseUrl same way - https://gitlab.icerockdev.com/scl/boilerplate/mobile-moko-boilerplate/-/blob/master/mpp[…]src/commonMain/kotlin/org/example/library/SharedFactory.kt

@alex009 I am searching for something similar for our app - the app has different “flavors” for different customers with custom colors, images, strings…
So one fat library with all assets will not fulfil the needs. I am currently thinking about different Moko-Resource-Library-Projects, but I am not sure that this would fix all our needs…

Btw: the “base-resource-path” `shared/src/commonMain/resources/MR`is not adjustable, isn’t it?

[alex009]

yes, resource path can't be changed
